Gary Johnson also had an interesting stance when it came to senior's Medicare benefits.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50985e6aecad04f234000007Matt H. FacespaceMon, 05 Nov 2012 19:48:42 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50985e6aecad04f234000007
You should vote Johnson just to get the Libertarian party at least 5% of the vote, it would open up a 3rd party a lot more attention and money come 2016, for that alone give Johnson your vote if you are so inclined. = )http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5098575d6bb3f78710000002Matt H.

well said...the idea that if I didn't vote for Johnson I would throw away my vote on either big corrupt candidates is laughable. Neither Obama or Romney ever had my vote.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/509856ee69bedd2971000002Morky Mork MorkMon, 05 Nov 2012 19:16:46 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/509856ee69bedd2971000002
The phrase "wasted vote" is such a ridiculous claim. No one who votes for whom they really believe represents their views and ideals is wasting their vote.....Not all of us are cattle. Some of us have standards.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5096ebc769bedd8b74000010OBAMNEY 2012Sun, 04 Nov 2012 17:27:19 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5096ebc769bedd8b74000010
You Gary Johnson supporters are wasting your votes! A vote for him is a vote for Barack Obama! Romney/Ryan 2012!.....just kidding! ;)http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5095f7946bb3f7fa7e000030Steve CochranSun, 04 Nov 2012 01:05:24 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5095f7946bb3f7fa7e000030
It is not the case that the vote that I cast last week for Johnson/Gray would otherwise have been cast for any other candidate. I'm a (liberal) libertarian, and any notion that I may have voted for either Obama or Romney had there not been a libertarian ticket on the ballot is totally unfounded, and absolutely false. My vote for Johnson/Gray was, given the alternatives, absolutely non-transferrable. IMHO, if Obama loses to Romney, he has only himself and/or Mittens to blame.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5095bf5c6bb3f72e21000055Patti Jo EdwardsSat, 03 Nov 2012 21:05:32 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5095bf5c6bb3f72e21000055
For a more accurate poll, as of this moment they have polled nearly 6 million voters. <a href="http://www.isidewith.com/" target="_blank">http://www.isidewith.com/</a> Gary Johnson is sometimes tied with Obama and sometimes leading. according to the site Johnson ranges from 38% - 59% depending on the state. Romney is trailing in most states.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50949521ecad045517000004StarchildFri, 02 Nov 2012 23:53:05 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50949521ecad045517000004
Mr. Obvious - I understand how you feel, but I think it's worth it to vote. It doesn't legitimize their system, any more than telling a rapist you want him to use a condom amounts to legitimizing or consenting to rape. And of course voting and doing other things as an activist to advance the cause of freedom are not mutually exclusive. Your vote won't change the outcome of a national election, but it's like registering your opinion in a poll -- seeing higher totals for pro-freedom candidates sends a message of encouragement to others who want more freedom.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/509493cb6bb3f7ca7400000cStarchildFri, 02 Nov 2012 23:47:23 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/509493cb6bb3f7ca7400000c
A vote for Romney is a vote for Obama, and a vote for Obama is a vote for Romney. Two sides of the same statist coin (or to use a more apt metaphor, two sides of the same increasingly worthless paper currency backed by nothing). Don't waste your vote! Vote Gary Johnson, a candidate we can believe in who stands for REAL change, not more of the same policies leading to the U.S. down the road toward a police state and economic collapse.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50949366eab8ea9004000019Mac the knifeFri, 02 Nov 2012 23:45:42 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50949366eab8ea9004000019
I have been voting Libertarian since the 1992 election. This year I actually was able to talk my wife into voting Libertarian.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5094314eecad04755a00000aJMRFri, 02 Nov 2012 16:47:10 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5094314eecad04755a00000a
It's a matter of access. Once people hear Johnson's stance on the issues, they agree with him. I have helped to spread his message to at least 6 of my friends who are all going to vote for him now. Most reasonable people want the government to be fiscally conservative, not kill and go to war and to stay out of our bedrooms. Why wouldn't you unless you are a big-shot in one of the two mainstream parties? Keep spreading the word. We wont' win this time, but our efforts are having an effect. And I find it funny now that the Democrats are suddenly worried about him too. That means he's doing something right.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5094275569bedd1854000008ANameFri, 02 Nov 2012 16:04:37 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5094275569bedd1854000008

@RoryBellows: Not exactly correct. Several of my friends, familly and I who identify as Evangelical and consistently vote Republican will (have) vote for Gary Johnson. It galls me to no end to hear people justify the bombing of civilians the removal of our constitutional rights and the collapse of our economy because they are "republican"... I'm sorry, but believing in Liberty is more important than my party affiliation. And all those things are things Romney will continue to do. Expand the debt, REPLACE (not just repeal) Obamacare, complete support for the PATRIOT Act and provisions in the NDAA allowing the detainment of US citizens without charge, and the continued use of drones. I'm sorry, those are all deal breakers for me.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/509422e869bedd5f48000005GreggFri, 02 Nov 2012 15:45:44 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/509422e869bedd5f48000005
My wife an I both cast our votes for Liberty when we mailed in our ballots last week. We are happy to have "wasted" our votes on Gary Johnson. I encourage you all to waste your votes too. We live in Denver, CO.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50941fb5ecad04473c000006jim rogersFri, 02 Nov 2012 15:32:05 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50941fb5ecad04473c000006
Maybe not. The percentage of the population that doesn't vote at all is much larger than the percentage that votes for third parties. Actual lovers of freedom and liberty making it into our government could be less plausible than so few people voting that the government starts losing it's legitimacy in a meaningful way.
The best vote you can make is to refuse to pay your taxes and try to get to another country and renounce your citizenship. Why give your money to an institution that is just going to spend it on bombing innocent people, imprisoning minorities, and propping up oppressive corporate cartels that would fail in a free society. If the majority of the people in this country actually support this institution than they just as mad as the people they are voting for and no sane person would want to raise a family among such twisted peers.
I am going to vote for gary out of regret for voting for the lesser of two evils in my foolish youth, but I will never vote in this country again.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50941d6569bedd4b3d0000011984Fri, 02 Nov 2012 15:22:13 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50941d6569bedd4b3d000001
The worst of it is that the sheep in congress went along with all of this , starting with the patriot act , and on and on, and on top of it 911 was a false flag, GOD help us all.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5094139469bedd921e00001bJohn DoeFri, 02 Nov 2012 14:40:20 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5094139469bedd921e00001b
There are multiple types of conservatives...
Gary Johnson is "Fiscally" conservative, but he is Socially Liberal... hence Libertarian.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50940a4169bedd1e0e000004JonFri, 02 Nov 2012 14:00:33 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50940a4169bedd1e0e000004
Exactly how i feel too. I figure if people really start just voting the way they feel rather tha worried about throwing their vote away, then the third party might start gaining some traction and become a viable alterntative. For that reason I'll vote for Johnson.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50940398ecad04ca0700000cSkull & BonesFri, 02 Nov 2012 13:32:08 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50940398ecad04ca0700000c
9/11 & 1984 all in the same decade and equally supported by BOTH political parties here in Amerika. The future is so bright.......you better wear shades!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/509401176bb3f78465000014Mr. ObviousFri, 02 Nov 2012 13:21:27 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/509401176bb3f78465000014
I'm 50-50 on voting. I can't vote for Romney, he's untrustworthy and made a career on auctioning off financially distressed companies / nose diving companies into bankruptcy. It's hard to see why he would want the US to succeed when he profits when major companies fail.
Obama may be a despot and certainly isn't delivering on his campaign promises. I can't vote for him again in good faith. I won't deal with another "lesser of two evils" situation.
If I vote, it's going to be for Johnson. The only reason I wouldn't vote is because I don't want to legitimize a system of false choice.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/509400d6eab8ead33f000014LibervativeFri, 02 Nov 2012 13:20:22 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/509400d6eab8ead33f000014

Add a comment...We're not stuck with just two candidates! Don't buy into that non-sense. It is a fact that without Johnson our civil liberties will continue to dwindle. Soon there will be no free speech over the Internet. Voting is already being attacked. Will there even be a choice in 4 years? Vote for Gary Johnson NOW!

So let me get this straight ... liberals in CO are going to vote for a conservative because ... hmm ... you said so? Because ... hmmm .... he is pro-marijuana? And you're basing this on your conversations with college students who, frankly, are not going to turn out anyway? Yeah, that makes perfect sense.

Johnson gives people a reason to get excited about participating in government again! Johnson's causes are worth fighting for!
We fought a Revolution FOR the causes that Johnson is campaigning for. We fought a Revolution AGAINST the causes the RNC and DNC are campaigning for.
Vote FOR someone, not AGAINST someone else.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5093ee36ecad045f5b0000141984Fri, 02 Nov 2012 12:00:54 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5093ee36ecad045f5b000014
Who would ever have thought that the u.s. would fight continual undeclared unconstitutional wars in the mideast for over 11 years and use drones that according to the ACLU have caused over 4000 deaths , and congress has passed legislation that allows big brother to use over 30,000 drones over america and GOD only knows what else.
George Orwell was right just a few decades early, america is oceania, 1984 is here and now.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5093ece2ecad044d59000016RoryBellowsFri, 02 Nov 2012 11:55:14 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5093ece2ecad044d59000016
I forgot to mention the Evangelicals in Colorado Springs. Johnson won't steal votes there. But like I said, CO is a weird mix politically.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5093ec9feab8eaac15000008RoryBellowsFri, 02 Nov 2012 11:54:07 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5093ec9feab8eaac15000008
As a Coloradan I can attest the Gary Johnson ads suddenly started appearing about 2 weeks ago. He's certain to pick up votes but It's hard to tell who they would more likely come from. Normally it would disproportionately affect the Republican nominee, but with Prop 48 on the ballot it could definitely hurt Obama. Colorado is a weird place politically with really liberal towns like Boulder and the ski towns, democrats in Denver, a mix in the burbs, and libertarians in the mountains. Here in liberal Boulder you don't see any Romney supporters, but you will see the occasional Ron Paul sticker or sign next to all the Obama stuff. Interesting twist with Johnson in the race for sure.
